If you’re wondering where the taste and scent of your favourite strain comes from, you have terpenes, or terpenoids, to thank for that. Cannabis terpenes are responsible for what you smell when you hold a nug close to your nose, or even from afar.
Understanding cannabis terpenes will make you appreciate the cultivation process even more. In this post, we will discuss some important facts about terpenes that you need to know.
These naturally occurring substances are aromatic oils that provide the plants with its colours, distinctive flavours, and scent. Terpenes are the ones doing the work when you notice hints of different notes from a strain, such as berry, pine, mint, citrus, and so on. They are also the ones giving the bud its striking colours and hues, creating an attractiveness that we all know and fall for.
Cannabis experts and budtenders claim that most consumers rely on THC content alone when it comes to choosing a strain. However, they suggest that focusing more on understanding certain terpene profiles can bring you closer to getting your preferred effects.
With that being said, here are 10 fast facts about this fascinating topic that should jumpstart your path to enlightenment!
While research surrounding cannabis terpenes is still limited, cannabis analysis labs are starting to test high terpene content, so consumers can have a better understanding of the set of effects that strains can produce. Cannabis terpenes carry unlimited combinations of potential synergistic experiences, allowing room for cannabis research development.
It is also important to note that while cannabinoids and terpenes play a huge role in creating the effects of cannabis strains, your past experience on smoking and the setting in which you smoke, can also affect how you feel.
While cannabis terpenes are just one part of the whole experience, understanding and learning about them can become an interesting way to pick and choose which products suit you most!
